Many of the changes in the Federal service over the course of my career in EPA (30 years) seem designed to discourage the entry of highly skilled workers into the Federal workforce.
For example, the change from CSRS to FERS made workers more "mobile", but removed a durable pension system which was a major attraction for folks seeking service in the public sector.
The new PARS system also seeks to solve a non-existent problem, empowering managers to impose a system of review on staff without any change in the basic "mentality" of management. Federal managers are, of their nature, quite different from those found in industry. As such, systems such as PARS and "banding" widely used outside the Federal service, have no real place here.
What in PARS assures that managers will follow the 'rules' in cascading meaningful goals and objectives, then follow up with a less subjective/more objective appraisal at year's end? Answer: nothing. Federal managers will continue to rate staff as they always have -- subjectively.
